What this entry covers

This entry concerns Clean Law’s own external arrangements with courtroom lawyers, barristers, law firms, litigation practices and related legal service providers.

The current entry records that no such arrangements exist.

The purpose is to record the boundary clearly.

Client choice

A client may separately retain a courtroom lawyer, barrister or law firm.
That choice belongs to the client.

It is not recorded here as a Clean Law arrangement.
It is not a Clean Law referral arrangement.
It is not a Clean Law preferred-firm relationship.
It is not a Clean Law alliance, panel or standing arrangement.

Clean Law does not maintain a panel of courtroom lawyers.
Clean Law does not keep a preferred list of courtroom firms.
Clean Law does not require clients to use any particular courtroom lawyer, barrister or law firm.

Where courtroom representation is needed, the client remains free to choose.

Matter-specific communication

Ordinary matter-specific communication may occur with a lawyer or firm separately retained by a client.
That communication does not create a standing external arrangement.

It does not create a referral arrangement.
It does not create a panel relationship.
It does not create a preferred-firm relationship.

Financial boundaries

Clean Law does not receive referral fees from courtroom lawyers, barristers or law firms.
Clean Law does not pay referral fees to courtroom lawyers, barristers or law firms.
Clean Law does not share legal fees with courtroom lawyers, barristers or law firms.
Clean Law does not receive commissions for introducing clients to external legal practitioners.
Clean Law does not accept commissions for recommending, mentioning or introducing any courtroom lawyer, barrister or law firm.

If this position changes

If Clean Law enters into any relevant external arrangement in the future, this register should be updated.

The update should identify the nature of the arrangement in clear terms.
It should also state whether the arrangement involves any referral fee, commission, fee-sharing, panel relationship, preferred-firm structure or other financial connection.

Until that occurs, the current register entry remains:
No standing external arrangements recorded.
